11 Most Expensive Military Planes in the World

10. Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey

Price – $78 million

The V-22 Osprey comes from the United States and is a tiltrotor military aircraft. That means it’s one of those cool looking aircraft that combines the vertical lift you see in helicopters and the speed and range of traditional airplanes.

Its first flight took place in 1989, but it was only officially introduced in 2007. The large gap between the two moments in time can be explained by the many tests the aircraft had to endure, as well as the design alterations necessary to make the tiltrotor perfect for flight, as well as safe and efficient.

The V-22 Osprey has replaced the Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knights in the US Marine Corps arsenal and has since been deployed in various missions in Iraq, Afghanistan and more.
